How to Reverse Dimension Landing Line Direction

I am creating a drawing and would like to move some dimensions around.  I have had this problem before, but I do not know how to fix it.

 

I am trying to reverse the direction of the dimension landing line (image below for definitions).

 

GUID-979AF8A8-A819-4E54-B566-D42CD3A543D4

Fusion allows one to change the direction of the leader line, but the landing line seems pre-determined (and in this case in a direction I do not find helpful).  Is there a way to change this?

Is there a way to do this?

I messed around with this for a bit, but I did not find a way to accomplish this. I do note a clear difference in behavior from the ISO and ASME standards, but I do not find an options to modify the dimension text position/location.

 

Perhaps @andrew.de.leon or @TimeraAutodesk could help shed some light on this one?

 

Thanks in advance!

Thanks @innovatenate!

 

@neljoshua - this is a new feature request - er - feature enhancement. We have it on our roadmap, but I'd also recommend posting the idea to our IdeaStation so that the community can vote for it to help raise its priority in our backlog. 

 

Best,

Timera

I'm shamelessly bumping this. How is this option still not available in Fusion 360's "Drawing" mode?

 

I know it's not your burden to bear, but forgive me if I need to vent publicly about this for just a second. This strikes me as an exceedingly basic feature that one should expect from any program that lists professional drafting in its list of capabilities - analogous to a car that only has a left-hand turn signal. 

 

What's the best way to get the devs' attention about this? The link posted above is no longer accessible.

Is this feature still not available? I want to flip that landing line to the start of the text.
